There's a function in the editor that decides whether to convert a
typed '?' into 'print' then inserts the result. I can't reproduce your
bug, but I found and fixed a Really Obvious uninitialised variable in
the insertion call.
With luck this is a true fix; it will be in the forthcoming FB 5.4
release.
The perilous bug-in-waiting escaped notice until now because the
compiler doesn't give a warning for usage like this:
local fn foo( @x as ptr )
long if ( x.0& != 0 )
// show silly alert, then crash
xelse
// something sensible
end if
end fn
local fn bar
dim as long uninit
fn foo( uninit )
end fn
